But Obi Wan said Anakin was prophecied to destroy the Sith "not join them!" And he did. Eventually. *NM* Cannoli Send a noteboard - 11/06/2012 04:38:42 PM
From The Phantom Menace
Yoda: [referring to the Sith] Always two there are. No more. No less. A master and an apprentice.

From A New Hope
Obi-wan: A young Jedi named Darth Vader, who was a pupil of mine until he turned to evil, helped the Empire hunt down and destroy the Jedi knights.

Anakin helps eliminate all of the Jedi but two, Yoda and Obiwan Kenobi survive. The Jedi and Sith reach equilibrium sometime between Revenge of the Sith and A New Hope. Two of each. Darths Sidious and Vader being the two Sith.

Balance isn't necessarily a good thing. Would you rather have a balance of sociopaths and non-sociopaths in a given neighborhood or would you prefer an overwhelming majority of non-sociopaths?

Is that really as canon as the movies? - 09/06/2012 01:29:49 AM 1026 Views
As canon as Han saying the Death Star was too big to be a space station... - 09/06/2012 03:21:12 PM 891 Views

"Balance to the Force" is a numbers game. The key is in a comment by Yoda at the end of Ep. 1. - 08/06/2012 11:04:03 PM 975 Views

If things are going well, then balance is the last thing you want - 09/06/2012 04:46:37 AM 845 Views
Are you saying there are plot holes in Star Wars? Never! *NM* - 09/06/2012 06:09:59 AM 577 Views
I still think the bringing balance refers to what happens AFTER ROTJ - 09/06/2012 10:19:01 AM 940 Views

The concept of evil in SW (like in WOT) is Zoroastrian, not Taoist - 09/06/2012 12:26:20 PM 880 Views
